People also tend to look at bargains and/or contracts signed under a lot smaller cap, like Scheifele or Mackinnon when making comparisons. Those teams lucked out (and maybe the Flames can as well) but they are not what an agent (or an arbitrator) are going to look at.

You let me know when a team wins a cup with a $6 million Brock Nelson. Just because some teams are willing to pay that much for players of that ilk doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
